Facts About Corn-Cob Pipes.
"New idens in pipesp"

w" ocuo III pipesE
"Why, there are scores of them, "
said tobacconist to q reporter. "In-
ventors are constantly turning their
attention to the subject of nicotine abb
sorbers. There is pipe with a sponge,
pipe with cotton filter, and pipe
with gauze attachment to the bowl,
all contrived to absorb the deadly
poison of tobacco. Nothing. however,
is half so effective rs the corn-cob bowl.
1t absorbs all the nicotine in tobacco,
until the pores of the pipes are full.
Corn-cob pipes should not be smoked
more than week. After they are
saturated with nicotine it is very in
furious to smoke them, because the
smoker then gets the concentrated
nicotine from the bowl. They cost
only five or ten cents apiece and are
very sweet when new. 1t is the thing
nowadays for men of fashion to stroll
through the streets in the early morn
ing smoking corn-cob pipes. 1t is
English, you know."-M Y. Mail aac

THE EWING FAMILY.
Hon. Thos. Ewing, the Lawyer and
Statesman.
His Public Career and Professional and
Private Life.

II was my intention to devote this letter TO
the members Of tho Ewing family who have be-
come prominent, but before commencing the
history OF Thomas Ewing q sketch Of his father
in-law, Hugh Boyle, who was one OF the first
settlers Of Lancaster, will not be amiss. 1t
was through Boyle, who wed O Gillespie, that
the relationship between the Ewings and
Blaines was established.
Hugh Boyle, native Of County Donegal, Ire
land, emigrated in his early manhood, in the
year 179l, to the United States, landing at the
port Of Philadelphia He removed successfully
to Baltimore Martinsburg and Brownsville. Pa
He was employed for the most part in merchan-
dising and traffic, In association with young
relative under tho firm name Of John 4 Hugh
Boyle. At Brownsville Hugh Boyle made the
acquaintance Of tho family of Neal Gillespie, sr.,
also native Of Donegal, already established
there In position OF estate and influence, and
married Eleanor, one Of the daughters OF the
family Chere comes In the Blaine connection),
and from Brownsville, with his young wife, he
pushed on into the heart Of the Ohio country,
taking up his abode at Chillicothe in 1898.
In November Of the year 1900 he attended the
sale Of lots in the town OF New Lancaster" !"
laid out by Zane, at the crossing OF the Hook
hooking, in the newly established County Of
Fairfield, and purchased property with the In
tention Of making his home IN the new town, to
which he accordingly moved IN the summer of
the following year with his wife and infant
daughter Maria, who became the wife of Hon.
Thomas Ewing.

There were others more eloquent in manner
than he, but few were more powerful in
thought few there were with more resources,
or who had more or better weapons to WELD in
debate or argument. He seemed to have been
thoroughly informed on every point that arose,
and displayed wise and various knowledge.
Mr.. Ewing was buried in the cemetery ut Lam
caster. A picture of the Ewing monument is
herewith given.
Aside from his greatness the life Of Thomas
Ewing makes an interesting and profitable
study, because it gives deep and vivid insight
into the lives and struggles of the pioneers of
Ohio. His early hardships were typical. What
he had to endure in the way Of physical toll and
discomfort and dearth Of advantages the son OF
nearly every other man who came to Ohio prior
to 1900 had to suffer in greater or less degree

NEW POULTRY BREEDS.
A Shadow That Ia Eagerly Pursued

A Shadow That Ia Eagerly Pursued by
Many Chicken Fanciers.
1t is a we'll established fact that new
and improved breeds can be formed if
the right course is followed. 1t has
been done, and very effectually as we
all know. The Brahmas and Plymouth
Rocks are both notable instances. But
even after a breed has been successfully
established it can be greatly i'm
proved upon by careful, judicious mat
ing, and many of the breeds we have
to-day are far superior to the descrp-
tion Of them when they first came into
public notice.
A distinct separate breed is not. how
ever, rs easy to form rs many breedero
suppose. 1t is often the case that be
ginners get an idea into their heads
that they can establish some new va.
riety with but very little trouble, and
generally they are very desirous OF
having this honor. Cases have come
under my notice and observation. where
the beginner starts with glorious ex-
pectations and thinks he can form
new and popular variety by expert
menting two or three years and cross
ing some of the breeds we now have,
but in most cases. instead of producing
any thing valuable and distinct, the
result iy generally very mixed flock,
both in looks and reality.
have had long letters from just such
beginners who go into details and en-
plain just what crosses they have made
and what kind of chicks they succeeded
in getting, and they then want to know.
or get some idea of what the result
would be by crossing still another breed
| with the mixture they already have.
The principal object in breeding is to
get some uniform color that is little
diifereny from any thing we may have.
and in most cases they do not pay any
particular attention to the useful quail
ties of the fowls they use in mating
their hens, their highest aim being to
place some new colored breed on tho
market with their name rs the origin
ator.

Now, it seems reasonable to me, and
think it would to any person who has
watched such experiments, that it would
be much better in the end, and more
profitable to these beginners, if they
would use their study and experiments
on the breeds we already have, and try
to improve them and bring them up to
u higher standard of excellence.
1t would be much better to give par
ticular attention to the utility or real
value of the stock, such as laying ca
pability, large size, etc., etc., and only
select the best and most promising spec
linens as breeders, and in such cases
the result would be that the fowls would
reach much higher standard of util-
ity, and it would be much better for all
concerned if this method of breeding
was followed carefully, rather than
trying to form some new breed of dif-
fcrent color, but having no particular

In l78e the family removed to the mouth of
Olive Green creek, on the Muskingum river.
During the Indian war that followed the Ewing
family were frequently compelled 10 seek pro-
lection from the savages In the block house,
and It was in one of these rude forts and in these
troublous times that young Ewing learned to
read. The Bible was the only book available,
and he pored over its wonderful pages with
such intense avidlty that he was dubbed 'srhe
Bishop" name that olung 10 him for many
years. In 17g7 he went TO school about seven
months, and later In the same year joined his
father who, for some unaccountable reason,
had pushed stil further into the wilderness and
taken up his abode on Federal Greek, In Athens
County, seventeen miles beyond the frontier.
Here for nearly three years the family lived with

ever since the question Of new de-

in this city has been agitated, l have had
an idea about the location Of and access
to union depot said Mr.. Arnold A. A.
Wheelock, an old resident of Washing
ton, to Il Carrie reporter to-day.
MY plan is this; To locate union
station below the grade of the streets
similar to the Camden Station in Balti-
more--on squares 42, 475 and 4T6, he
tween Fifth and Seventh aud Il and )
streets northwest. The access TO this
station would be obtained very easily.
Let the Baltimore and Ohio turn into
Boundary street and skirt along the
edges Of the squares adjacent 10 that
street until the station is reached.
"The Baltimore and Potomac would
leave its main track and follow along
the Bennings road TO the corner Of Fif-
tecnth and Boundary northeast, then
follow that street until the Il. and o.
track was reached. The roads from the
South would cross the river NJ the Aque-
duet Bridge, tunnel under Georgetown
TO Rock Creek, and after crossing make
"a long curve to the east and take di-
rect line for the station across the centre
of the squares lying between II and
streets. Let the tracks run below the
grade of the streets, the cross streets be-
ing bridged over.
"Thc location Of the station being
nearly ut the intersection of Rhode
Island and New Jersey avenues makes
IL but short distance from the Capitol.
Now as to freight depots. Have the b.
